COMPUTER-BASED HONORS PROGRAM

The Computer-Based Honors Program (CBHP) is designed to allow independent work and provide a broader education for highly motivated students in a variety of academic fields.

Students are accepted in this program at the beginning of the freshman year and learn to use University computers by taking CBH 101 and CBH 102, 3-hour courses designed for this purpose. During their second, third, and fourth years at the University, students become undergraduate research assistants and work with faculty members on computer-oriented research projects. They receive 3 hours of credit each semester for this research work and meet once a week to discuss research techniques and to report on completed projects.

Special scholarships of $3,500 a year are available to selected students in the program, who are chosen during their senior year in high school. The Computer-Based Honors Program is a suitable minor for students enrolled in the College of Arts and Sciences, the Culverhouse College of Commerce and Business Administration, the College of Communication and Information Sciences, and the College of Engineering.
